Amazon is top brand to advertise on TV during festive season: BARC
MUMBAI: Total TV consumption during the festive season saw a slight increase in the year 2018 as compared to the consecutive time period in 2017, a recent Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) India data reveals. While the average weekly impressions were 28.8 billion for the time period between 26 August and 20 October 2017, they were 33.1 billion between 15 September and 9 November 2018.
This festive season, ranging between Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali, is a preferred slot for advertisers and brands as well to grab maximum eyeballs. It also translates into several offers being announced by top brands and thus leads to a heavier influx of advertising.
The BARC data indicates that Hindustan Unilever remains the topmost advertiser during the past two festive seasons, with 1132959 and 1054249 insertions in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Amazon.in, which usually announces big sales during the time period with ‘The Great Indian Festival Sale’, was the top brand to advertise on TV for both the years with 132750 and 146049 insertions, respectively.

It is interesting to note from the data that two brands from the jewellery segment, Lalithaa and Attica Gold Company were not a part of the list in 2018. Videocon D2H also made an exit from the list in 2018.
From the advertisers’ side, TVS motors and Amazon Online were some of the brands who couldn’t make it to the top 15 list in 2018. The new entrant on the list in 2018 was Google that ran some really interesting campaigns during the season.

Faber-Castell India appoints Sunaina Haldar as director – marketing
With stints at Tata, SleepyCat and ADF Foods under her belt, Haldar is primed to redraw Faber-Castell’s brand story
MUMBAI: Faber-Castell India has poached Sunaina Haldar from ADF Foods, appointing her director – marketing as the German stationery brand looks to muscle up in a category that is rapidly reinventing itself around creativity and self-expression.
Haldar hit the ground running. “My first couple of weeks have been incredibly energising, understanding consumers, visiting markets, engaging with retailers and immersing myself into the world of Faber-Castell Group,” she said.
She arrives with considerable firepower. At ADF Foods, Haldar ran marketing across India and international markets for a portfolio spanning Ashoka, Aeroplane, Camel and ADF Soul. Before that, she was vice-president – marketing at direct-to-consumer mattress brand SleepyCat, where she helmed brand, content and performance marketing. Her résumé also includes a stint leading marketing, new product development and CRM for Tata SmartFoodz at Tata Consumer Products, no small proving ground.
Between corporate roles, Haldar also operated as a fractional CMO for early-stage startups, building marketing strategy and operational structures from scratch, a signal that she knows how to move fast with limited resources.
With 18 years straddling FMCG, D2C and the startup world, Haldar now takes the reins at a brand that has long owned the classroom but is clearly hungry for the living room. In a stationery market where the pencil has become a lifestyle statement, Faber-Castell has picked someone who knows exactly how to sell that story.
